Brings a big frame and underrated athleticism. Possesses a long reach as a receiver, has solid hands, and the physicality to separate himself from coverage on short routes. Flashes surprising speed. May be able to line up at tight end.

Flaws:

Still somewhat raw and inexperienced as a receiver; far from the total package at wideout. Must improve his skills as a route runner and his technique as a blocker.

Career Potential:

Athletic wideout with potential.

Rams third-year receiver Brian Quick appears to be ready to make a leap forward in production and fantasy value.

Impact

There is a well-known theory that many wide receivers breakout in their third season and that could happen for Quick. The 33rd selection of the 2012 draft class has done little to this point, but signs of him "getting it" have begun to show. Also as important, we saw quarterback Sam Bradford trust him Saturday despite being covered in a 41-yard catch and run. It may be Quick's time to shine and fantasy owners should use a late-round pick on him because of his upside.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Rams are hopeful receiver Brian Quick is ready to make a leap forward this season.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

St. Louis took Quick with the first overall pick in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft, well ahead of Alshon Jeffery, Rueben Randle, T.Y. Hilton and Marvin Jones, who all have been much more productive than the 6-foot-3, 218-pound Quick. The 25-year-old has caught 29 passes for 458 yards and four touchdowns through two seasons. The third year is typically when receivers make a big statistical jump, so Quick could be a nice deep sleeper. He has a shot to start along with injury-prone Kenny Britt.

Quick is becoming a bit of a summer superstar in shorts and t-shirts. It didn't translate to the field last season, and we're not taking the bait this year until he proves it in September. With Kenny Britt, a similar player to Quick, now in the fold, Quick's snaps may be even harder to come by in 2014. Quick has mostly been a red-zone-only option since being the No. 33 overall pick in 2012.

St Louis Post-Dispatch

Impact

In two seasons since getting selected 33rd overall, Quick has totaled just 29 catches for 458 yards and four touchdowns. And like Britt, he's a big-bodied outside receiver that profiles as an "X" receiver. If Britt's knee is right and his head is on straight, Quick may not even get the 361 snaps he saw in 2013.

The 33rd pick in the 2012 draft, Quick is the most talented of St. Louis' receivers but the light has yet to flip on for the mild-mannered Appalachian Stat alum. Quick ends his second NFL season with 18 receptions for 302 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams have publicly compared Quick to Vincent Jackson, who similarly began his career slowly. We like Quick's Dynasty upside, but he's clearly not yet been ready for prime time. He'll be a late-round flier in 2014 re-draft leagues.

Quick has some Marques Colston to his game and goes 6-foot-4, 220. Although he was unable to unseat Austin Pettis for a starting job in training camp, ESPN Rams beat writer Nick Wagoner believes Quick "has a chance to break through to the starting lineup at some point opposite (Chris) Givens." Quick is still squarely on the fantasy radar and worth rostering in deep leagues.

Quick worked exclusively with the second and third teams on Saturday night, and he still appears to be a ways behind Austin Pettis on the depth chart. Quick was targeted three times on the night, and he dropped a two-point conversion with less than two minutes left in the game that would have put the Rams up by one point.

Quick didn't receive any first-team snaps. He played behind Austin Pettis, as expected, but Pettis was unimpressive, dropping his lone target.

Quick has "made strides but still has work to do" to pass Chris Givens, Tavon Austin, or Austin Pettis. Quick excels at red-zone fade patterns, but isn't catching the football consistently enough or using his size regularly to his advantage. It should be noted Quick is seeing first-team reps, so the Rams are trying to work him in. He dropped two passes in Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage.

Quick maintains big-time talent, and the Rams aren't giving up on him after a slow rookie season. We'll find out a lot about Quick this August. "I know a lot was made that he was supposedly the 'fourth receiver' but I don't know how that story got legs and took on a life of its own," said Demoff. "Brian Quick has had a very strong offseason and we're excited about his progress."

Brian Quick was inconsistent during OTAs | 07/21/2013 9:47 AM

News

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, second-year WR Brian Quick flashed "big-play ability" at OTAs, but continued to experience "periods of inconsistency."

St Louis Post-Dispatch

Impact

The 33rd overall pick in last year's draft, Quick struggled to comprehend Brian Schottenheimer's playbook as a rookie and remains a work in progress entering his second NFL training camp. Quick offers a lot of sleeper appeal, but obviously still needs to earn playing time. He's battling Austin Pettis for a starting job.

Quick is relegated to "key contributor" status. Summer depth charts are little more than coach-fueled propaganda, but it's at least confirmation the Rams have no plans to hand Quick a starting job despite their major need on the outside. Quick ended OTAs No. 4 on the depth chart even though he was reportedly turning heads. Few teams have as much to sort out in camp as St. Louis.

Pettis spent the spring as the starting X receiver. Givens is the Z, and Austin will start in the slot. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch insists Quick's offseason was not necessarily a disappointment, "it's just that Pettis has been that impressive." Assured OC Brian Schottenheimer, "(Quick's) doing a lot better. He's stepped up this year. He's just much more comfortable." Quick is competing directly with Pettis, who is an underwhelming possession receiver despite his big spring. The battle at X receiver will rage on into August.

In Friday's session alone, Quick caught "17 to 18 passes all over the field." Softli mentioned that the second-year receiver was reeling in passes in the "red zone, middle of the field, on crossing routes, and deep down outside." Quick recently admitted that he struggled with the playbook as a rookie. That, coupled with the immense jump from Appalachian State to the NFL, contributed to his minuscule 2012 stat line. We have Quick as our No. 56 receiver at the moment, but he has a boat load of upside in what should be a high-octane St. Louis attack.

"This offense is a lot more complicated than anything I've run before," he said. "... By the second half of last season, though, I felt a lot more comfortable and now, going into the second year, I really feel like I'm ready to show people what I can do." Coach Jeff Fisher anticipates Quick playing a "much bigger role" in the 2013 offense. Last year's No. 33 overall pick is a breakout candidate.

Tavon Austin is locked into the slot and Jared Cook will be moved all over the formation as a "move" tight end. Austin Pettis, Stedman Bailey and Lance Kendricks will be talented reserves. "We're going to lobby with the league to see if we can play with more than one ball," coach Jeff Fisher said. Although Quick is likely to start, his Dynasty arrow is pointing down. The Rams acquired some serious pass-catching talent this offseason.

Snead compared Quick to Vincent Jackson, who caught only three passes during his rookie year coming out of small-school Northern Colorado. Quick is a player to monitor closely entering 2013 fantasy season.
